Icelandic scientists are working on a new carbon storage project which involves embedding carbon dioxide as solid calcium carbonate in basaltic rocks. The CarbFix project aims to imitate the natural storage process of CO2 already observed in geothermal fields. The project’s implications for the fight against global warming are considerable, since basaltic bedrocks suitable for CO2 injection are widely found on the planet. Source: Clean Skies News

In order to protect the planet’s climate, it is crucial to save what is left of the world’s forests. Sumatra in Indonesia is home to unique peatland forests harbouring some of the world’s most carbon-rich soil. We cannot afford to let them go up in smoke, so the upcoming UN climate summit in Copenhagen has to consider much more than just curbing emissions. Source: Greenpeace/Green.tv

Poland’s Belchatow power plant, Europe’s largest polluter, is planning to curb its CO2 emissions with the help of millions of euros of EU investment.

Scientists in Iceland are set to begin an experiment that will see CO2 exhaust gas from one of Iceland’s geothermal power stations pumped below ground into the bedrock.
